13 is age of consent

Before you crucify me, go check the section 218 of the criminal code act of 2004
that is why people like you rape children, mind you it is life imprisonment to rape children now, so be warned.

So A teenager was what he found attractive at the grand old age of grandfather hood?.

Legal or not, it’s still disgusting.

So if the age of legality is 16 he would’ve gone that low?
Make it 2 and they will storm daycares.

Law does not care about your emotions or sentiments unfortunately
It is not about emotions but fact

See what I'm saying you only hear what you want to hear.

I repeat that girl was born in October 10th 2000 and she got married 6 years ago


Look for a primary one student around you to do the maths since you refuse to use your ears

This Ned seems to lack a bit of class. Apart from the mishap of marrying a character like Regina, I expected that rather than go on a social media rant and banter with his estranged wife's camp, someone of his social and political standing would instruct his lawyers or pr team to release a statement that'd address the issue once and for all. He needs to take a cue from how fmr gov Sullivan Chime professionally dealt with his own marital palaver with his former wife.

Then why are you hellbent on 17 years?

This Regina Daniels has notorious for shifting the goal post on her age

The husband is now telling everyone that she she was 19 when he married her but you guys will not rest

That girl even came out to celebrate her 25th birthday recently which is consisted with her real date of birth still you people wont rest

And yet this person you claimed to "lack a bit of class" has achieved far beyond the men from your lineage.

The Sentor holds a first degree in Law and History from the University of Keele and a Master's in Law from King's College, London. As a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court in England and Wales, he established a significant legal career, once leading the largest black law firm in England and recognized as a top black lawyer of African descent.

When your enemies goes to the market square of social media to tarnish and smear your image and reputation, go to that aboki store behind the back of your house and buy a superglue of #200 and gum your mouth okay? say because you want to show class , refinement and sophistication.

You jobless people can easily call out NED for marrying a 19 yrs old girl or allegedly 17yrs but goes silent on the ones up north marrying both 11 and 13yrs old,which to me is abominable!
Anyway, jobless people will keep themselves busy with non consequential family matters of others.

Strange. This is like me fighting you about your age. The father has stated his child’s age in 2019. Regina confirmed in 2025. You are online fighting as if you are Regina. Go and convince Regina she was 18 when she married. Wikipedia that even my puppy can edit is your reference?
I tried following your argument right from page one to this point.I have not seen any different from your evidence about her real age and what the guy you are arguing with said.
You relied on the voice note of the father who claimed she was 17 yrs at the time of marriage,while the guy was relying on the interview the mother granted a BBC claiming she was 19 yrs as at the time of marriage.
Why are you making it look as if the mother side of the story about her biological daughter doesn't matter at all?
Remember,as at the time of this marriage,the father wasn't in the picture at all.
It was only the mother and older brothers.
And both the mother and the brothers who are older than her agreed that she was 19.
So,if you were Ned Nwoko,who would you have believed about the age of your would-be-wife?
Your mother in-law whom you met on ground and know,or your father in-law whom you have never met or known as at the time of the marriage?
So, your attempt to rely solely on the voice note of the father while trashing the mother testimony to crucify Ned doesn't really make sense to me. No

Shame. There is a lesson to learn in everything. A big lesson to learn here is that it is good to maintain a good relationship with your in-law albeit with a very respectable distance. "Eku ijo meta" is ideal!!
Sometimes it's difficult to maintain a good relationship with in-laws especially when they have low emotional intelligence, relatively poor with an entitlement mentality. The lady is immature mentally & the relatives even though older, can't correct her because she contributes to their financial sustainability. And dragging a family issue publicly confirms they've no reputation to lose but are out to embarrass the Senator.
The Senator to me is not wise. As an elderly man, he doesn't need to marry teenagers to feel cool. They're a lot of matured ladies that can make him enjoy his wealth in a quite & peaceful atmosphere. This is a lesson to other men.

But what was the father's role in her life all these while before the marriage huh Was the father playing a fatherly role ?? Regina bears the mother's name incase you don't know
2mch:
That girls father came to cry out that his daughter is 17yrs old and he did not consent to the marriage. You saw it, heard his cry but did not care. You were alerted, you knew but that is really what you were after. People with bad intentions don’t need both parent consent. They are happier when there is division.

She even claimed to have turned 25 and you all celebrated her birthday till kasala burst and she went back to her real age of 24.

Arrested for what? Did he commit any crime in the UK? Or did Nigeria say he committed a crime in Nigeria, and labelled a fugitive?
A lot of you guys are just parroting Western (European) law and customs, and applying it to others without looking at their unique socio-cultural background. Even in the US, people marry multiple wives or under 18 girls. One even documented his "bigamy" in a series called sister wives.

Nigeria operates multiple laws, there is tradition laws, religious laws and English law. And the Nigerian constitution recognises all three laws, with only a caveat that the English law is superior. Then there are different laws between the north and south. The south use the criminal code, while the north use the Penal code. Sometimes these two laws are at variance with each other.

Now back to this case. First Ned is Muslim. He married under both Muslim law and traditional law. Muslim and traditional law permits polygamy and underage marriage. Please note that the Nigerian constitution recognises both Muslim law and traditional law. So it would be interesting for someone to sue a man and the families engaging in underage marriage ceremony.

As much as I detest Senator Ned for marrying an underage girl, I blame Regina's mother and her family more. They openly came out to deny Regina was 17 at the time people raised concerns. They claimed Regina was 19 in unison, and they participated in the marriage ceremony, along with their whole community. So how can you then blame Ned for marrying an underage girl? Na him born am?


Senator Ike Ekweremadu did not commit any crime. He was just doing things the Nigerian way till he reached UK.
Chinedu christian Nwoko is a British Citizen. He is fully answerable to British laws inside and outside Britain. If you don't know the laws of dual citizenship, wait and see.

Arrest him because he allegedly commited the crime where? As at the time of Regina's marriage, the minimum age of marriage in the UK was 16 with parental consent.

Parental Consent .....Her Father disagreed and expressed his widely publicized disapproval and you need consent of both parents especially when they are not together.

Chinedu Christian Nwokolo will go to jail, just like Senator Ike Ekweremadu

Her parent and herself only can give the public her real age.
Forget all those fake documents you have seen before.
She and her family can come up with affidavit of change of date of birth to put you in prison @pa Ned.

And she can be 17 that time your married her,they may be lying because of your money.

The earlier you leave this matter and go mute the best for you.

That Regina maybe dating people in this country that are more powerful and richer than you,who knows what a woman can do?

Pa Ned,press the pause button now and run.

una go explain taya. As straightforward as that law is. You twisted your knickers in a knot to extricate Ned? Hahahaha.
Lol nobody’s twisting anything, bro. The law sounds straightforward, but Nigeria’s legal system isn’t that black and white. The Child Rights Act sets 18 as the minimum, yes but not every state in Nigeria has domesticated it. Customary and Islamic laws still operate side by side with statutory law.
That’s why no court has ever charged Ned Nwoko because legally, he didn’t break a binding law in his jurisdiction. You can’t jail someone based on public opinion or moral outrage; it has to be on what the law actually says and where it applies.

It’s 18. Ned is supposed to be sentenced to life imprisonment. He committed a verified crime in Nigeria by marrying Regina. Why do you think they lied about her age? He knows the law. He lived in the UK and knows or is aware of such laws.
You can't be talking about sentencing Ned when the mother that gave birth to her clearly stated she was 20 yrs. The video is online, probably Ned was deceived too. You can't make any case against him!

U are even slower than I taught.....did u see any court or lawyer in Britain take up the case against prince Andrew?? So in ur own mind , if an American citizen commits a crime in another country, he will then be arrested in America and imprisoned for a crime he committed in another country.... now do u know the meaning of the word " extradition "

Stop quoting this law, it's inconsistent with child right act....

See this and expand your knowledge..



Section 218 of the Nigerian Criminal Code Act states that a person who has unlawful carnal knowledge of a girl under the age of 13 years is guilty of a felony and liable to imprisonment for life. However, for girls between 13 and 16 years, the penalty is imprisonment for 2 years with or without caning.

This section seems to be inconsistent with the Child Rights Act and the Sexual Offences Act, which set the age of consent at 18 years.

In Nigeria, laws can be complex, with multiple statutes and customary laws applying. The inconsistency might be due to conflicting laws or outdated provisions. The more recent laws, like the Child Rights Act and the Sexual Offences Act, typically take precedence.

This does not necessarily mean that someone will deliberately assault a minor, may be hoping to serve only two years prison term and come out...

If such offence is presumed or determined to be primeditaed such penalty might be higher than the said two years...

Be kind to look at the recent laws and compare with the section you quoted...

In Nigeria, the age of consent varies:
- For sexual acts, the age of consent is 18 years, as stated in the Child Rights Act of 2003 and the Sexual Offences Act of 2015.
- For marriage, the Child Rights Act sets the minimum age at 18 years, but Sharia law allows girls as young as 9 to marry with consent. The Marriage Act allows 21-year-olds to marry without consent, while those between 18 and 21 need parental consent.....

Re: I Married Regina Daniels At 19, Not 17 - Sen. Ned Alleges Blackmail Against Him by 00FFT00(m): 1:39pm On Nov 11, 2025
In Nigeria, the age of consent, that is, the legal age at which a person is considered legally competent to agree to sexual activity, is 18 years old under federal law.

However, it’s important to note that Nigeria has a complex legal system that combines:

Statutory (federal) law,

Customary law, and Sharia (Islamic) law in some northern states.

Here’s a breakdown:

Federal law (such as the Child Rights Act 2003) defines a child as anyone under 18, making the age of consent 18 years.

Some northern states, which operate under Sharia law, may have different standards regarding marriage and consent, in those jurisdictions, the age of consent is often linked to puberty rather than a fixed number.

However, from the perspective of national law and international conventions Nigeria has ratified (like the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child), the recognized legal age of consent is 18 years old.

Now, here's what the book says on section 218 of the criminal code 2004. Its worthy to note that this deals with act of sexual knowledge of a minor person which cannot be consensual:

Section 218 of Nigeria's Criminal Code Act (2004) makes it a felony to have unlawful carnal knowledge of a girl under the age of 13, with penalties of life imprisonment.

It also addresses attempts, making it a felony punishable by 14 years imprisonment for anyone attempting to have such knowledge of a girl under 13. The law defines this as the "defilement of a girl".

Felony for girls under 13: Anyone who has unlawful carnal knowledge of a girl under 13 years old is guilty of a felony and can be sentenced to life imprisonment, with or without caning.

Attempts: Anyone who attempts to commit this crime is also guilty of a felony and can be sentenced to 14 years imprisonment, with or without caning.

Definition: "Defilement of a child" has been interpreted to mean having sexual intercourse with a child.

Age 13-16: Section 218 also addresses offenses against girls between 13 and 16 years of age. For a girl of or above 13 and under 16, it is a misdemeanor with a penalty of up to two years imprisonment, with or without caning.
